Always my go to Indian spot when I have a layover at LHR. Great menu and will accommodate with any needs. Service is is awesome. Must try

Quality/Quantity - What a great find, and this review shows the positive power of Yelp. We discovered this local restaurant through Yelp, and so did the other 2 tables next to us. We found out at the end of our meal that one of the other tables was also from our hotel, a mile walk away. Overall, I think a simple menu done well. We got everything they recommended including the recommended beer from the table next to us. Plain Papadum & Chutney Tray - A must try! Suggestion, these two items should be together on your menu to avoid any confusion on pricing. The sauces also went well with our entree and naan. Tandoori Mix Grill - Good, perfect amount for both of us. As mentioned previously, we are light eaters, especially when traveling. This entree also came with a very light simple salad. Garlic Naan - I can eat this all day! This could even be my meal. After Dinner Chocolates - A nice unexpected touch. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. Bathrooms need some TLC, but are functional. Indoor/outdoor dining; everyone ate indoors today. Open 7 days a week. Service - Good, had all 3 wait staff help us. This kind of confused us. They were good at upselling, but all 3 team members tried to upsell us. Not in a bad way, but it kept me laughing. I am a light eater, especially when traveling. They all made light small talk which was nice. It was obvious that everyone eating here was NOT local. They also have online promotions, see their website. Price - 28 pounds + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success, I am so glad that you can benefit from Yelp. See you on our next visit as we were so happy with our hotel we plan to stay there again. read more

**June 2022: Saturday Dinner** I landed in London in the afternoon and basically slept through half the day. When 9pm rolled around I figured I probably should eat something, but I wanted to try something local, so I walked about a mile away from my hotel and after a couple of no go options I landed on Zayani Indian. The restaurant had abundant traditional options, so I decided on one of my all time favorites: Chicken Tiki Marsala and Garlic Naan. The entree was exactly how I like my Marsala, creamy, somewhat sweet and savory and the chicken is soft and tender. The naan was the perfect vehicle to dip in the marsala. The marsala dish was a tad smaller than what I'm use to in the states as I usually have leftovers, but it was enough to fill my belly for a dine-in experience. Additionally the price seemed pretty reasonable for a white-table cloth dinner and they open late. I would come back! read more

This was a random find and turned out to be an absolute gem! Upon a quick stay nearby while waiting for a flight, I found this spot in search of something other than hotel food or airport food. Two friends met up with us and although unsure at first, our entire party was very pleased with all of the food! The service was wonderful, our server was very kind and patient with us. I definitely recommend it! read more

Unfortunately this restaurant is now closed down. We made the trip from Heathrow just to visit.

I'm not sure if my expectations are unreasonable but since this is close to Heathrow Airport, I imagine many Americans among other foreigners might stay at nearby hotels and expect something different if you are ordering delivery from Uber eats. I ordered butter chicken, lamb samosas, and tandoori prawns. I was very surprised that my butter chicken came without rice, my Tiger prawns seemed overpriced at 9.14 for 2 (equivalent of 4 small bites), and my delivery didn't include any utensils or napkins. I'm staying at a nearby hotel, traveling and hungry and I expected something more complete. The food was good, just wish I had the right accompaniments. read more

Excellent service and tasty food. Very clean dining room. Had the lamb and chicken tasted great!

Excellent - must try if you have the opportunity to when you are in the area. It has awesome reviews and that is why we tried this place. Now I can see why! read more

The food at Zayani was wonderful. Service was friendly and food came out quickly. If you are ever close to Heathrow Airport, and you like Indian cuisine, you must must must eat at Zayani Indian Restaurant. read more

Food was quite delicious. Had the chicken tikka masala, rice. For me it had a nice spice level. My spouse had the vindaloo and that had a bit more of a punch but again, not too spicy. And the staff very helpful. Offered a few recommendations. The restaurant was pretty. We are in London for one night and it was an easy walk from our hotel. They are currently going through some changes, no wine currently, (Jun 2023) but it wasn't an issue because the food was brilliant. read more

[late entry from 2016] As my parents came from Canada for our wedding, before they returned home we treated them to a evening out in London and a proper Indian meal. The hotel receptionist suggested a few names and off we went... Just so happened we found Zayani's first and pilled in. WOW!!! It was so good I don't think any of us have had food like it EVER before. 10/10!!! We live in the West Midlands and I have tried everything to get my husband to go back for a meal out, lol....this summer I swear. Keep up the good work!!! read more

Great food near Heathrow. We showed up late one evening after having travelled all day and within a half hour of closing. They graciously served us without rushing us and even offered us a free nightcap. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped to eat here after a long flight. It was the best decision me and my fiancé made. We never had Indian food but the waiter was patient and gave great recommendations of what to have and the service was phenomenal. Give it a 10/10 for anyone looking for great food and service. read more

Absolutely fantastic (and top notch) Indian food near Heathrow airport. We arrived late on Friday night due to flight delay. They were shutting down as we walked in with our luggage. The owner/manager greeted us and recommended a specific curry for my wife. It was absolutely delicious!! Although they were closing, they provided the full service and never rushed us. VERY NICE PEOPLE and FOOD TOO!! I guarantee that you will love their food. Must stop by Zayani Indian restaurant if you are staying near or passing by Heathrow airport. read more

We spent the night at a hotel near Heathrow and were looking for Indian food. After reading the reviews and the proximity to our hotel we deducted to head over and give them a try. We were really happy with the food and friendly service, they also have WiFi which is nice. Everything was fantastic, highly recommend them. read more

Was looking for Indian food near LHR. Zayani was the perfect answer. Great menu, friendly waiter, and great food. Highly recommend

I have eaten indian all over the world. This is as good as it gets. Its been six months since I ate there and I saved there info so I could come back and write this review. Its Really Really Good Way better than the places Ive eaten closer to the center of London and more affordable. The next time I travel from Colorado to London , Im eating here! Theres a HYatt hotel right down the street also.... peace Jeff read more

the food was amazing! along with great service & great ambiance! definitely get the pistachio kulfi and the garlic naan

Food was amazing and so was the service. We had a great time and the family owned restaurant was the place to be. We wish they had one in Denver, CO, that's how good it was. I will definitely come here again when I'm in London. read more

Wonderful Indian restaurant in Slough, close to Heathrow but in a cozy neighborhood setting. Friendly service, attentive but never intrusive, and excellent food. We had the amli chicken, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and a vegetable korma dish. Every single one was superb. The naan bread was a generous size, more than enough to share amongst four people although our party loved naan enough that we ordered two. The only sadness we took away from the meal was the fact that they had ras malai on the dessert menu (a personal favorite of mine, which I've yet to find a reliable source for in the States) - was dreaming about it as we ate our delicious meal even - only come to find out when we tried to order dessert that they were all out! Still, this was a lovely restaurant and the food was extremely well done. We would definitely come back here again. read more

So, I,'m down from S. Staff's and I thought "my" Indian restaurant was the best. WRONG! This place blew it out of the water. I totally recommend it to my Yelp friends They just offered us a whiskey on the house. Is there a 6starvrating??? read more

Staying at a Heathrow Airport hotel (Sheraton Heathrow Hotel), was looking for something different for dinner, looked on Yelp and saw the reviews (they were outstanding). We elected to do the 8 min walk. This place was Amazing, the Chicken Korma, Buttered Chicken, different rice dishes and naan.... All so good. This was the best Indian food I have had in years and I travel to Delhi and Hyderabad for work. If you staying near Heathrow, it is worth the walk, taxi or Uber ride for a meal here. Don't let the airport neighborhood scare you off, this place could thrive In London's New Bond Street neighborhood. read more

By far my favorite restaurant near Heathrow airport. This place is clean, quiet, has an upscale feel and the most important part-delivers with a great selection of complex dishes. If you like Indian food then this may be your next favorite local spot. read more

Located on Simpson road in the middle of the burbs Zayani is definitely a hidden gem to try while staying in the Heathrow area. It is about a 5 minute walk from the Park Inn and walking distance from many of the hotels on Bath Road and well worth the walk. We ended up coming here 2 times during our stay in the area not cause a lack of option but Zayani and the Pheasant are the only 2 decent eating options (in my book) to eat around the area. The food here is genuinely homemade and with that takes a while to come out of the kitchen. Each time we ordered the same thing.. Not cuz we weren't adventurous but it was just that good. The veggie samosa were very fresh. The filling was very light and the outside was very crispy. The tandoori mixed plate was very good. Served sizzling on a black hotplate the chicken and lamb had a nice char and yet maintained good moisture. The meat had a nice subtle heat to it yet was still tolerable even for the soft taste buds of the GF. The Butter chicken was nice and mild and had a very subtle flavor to it. Thick and creamy as butter chicken is supposed to be. The Lamb Tikka was very mild as well. I wanted to get Lamb Madras but no one wanted anything with heat. Oh well next time. Decent price point for Indian food and one of the tastier places to eat off of Bath Road. I put my seal of approval on this place. Just be prepared to wait for your food... read more

Love..Love...LOVE !! Perfect dining experience " We have been regularly coming to Zayanis after looking for another Indian restaurant ..and Im pleased to say we finally found our favourite place where food dreams are made from! We certainly will be staying and looking no further. As this is our favourite place :) Zayani's is INCREDIBLE!! Your food is absolutely perfect and always cooked to perfection, nothing is hard..As I usually cannot stand in most places where the rice is chewy and unpleasant. I can only compare yours to fluffy and so yum! The food is perfection and its always well presented..tastes truly delicious! The only downside to this place is its addictive "haha" Im not so sure what your secret ingredients are as the day after im craving more Zayani. My ultimate favourite is the vegetable madras and onion fried rice its beautiful :) so creamy and cooked to perfection! As for the side of sag paneer we can honestly say its second to none and such beautiful texture and tastes just as great. Thats just the food.... The staff are extremely very welcoming :) From the minute you enter the doors to leaving. Very friendly and attentive. Nothing is to much trouble and in our opinion they go way beyond the 'expected' service. 5 and more stars needed!! :) Excellent service. We will always come back here as truly Zayani is the place to be :) VERY!! happy customers!! Thank you!! read more

For what it's worth, I'm not a die hard fan of Indian food. We've had a mixed journey together. But this place is good food. And the owner Abdul is THE MAN. So cool and welcoming and helped me Odin out a boss lamb dish (okay, I admit, I can't remember what it was called and I just left the restaurant...I told you, I'm not a connoisseur of Indian food). Just go here if you're in a hotel at Heathrow and need food. It's really really good. The pompodam's (sp?) alone are great (see the pic) as an appetizer. read more
